Talented Ghanaian Musician Mugeez, member of the popular music group R2Bees believes it is wrong for African music to be judged by American based Grammy Awards.
The Singer has made a bold and precise statement with a post on social media. According to him there is no way the Grammys can judge music from the motherland, Africa, stating it was the last time he was going to make such a statement.
Mugeez expressed his opinion in a post on instagram with the caption:
“For the last time Grammy no fit judge African Music!”
He however hasn’t explained featured why he made this statement.
Grammy Awards is undoubtedly one of the most respected award schemes in the world and the ultimate as far as music is concern. The closed any Ghanaian artiste has given was a nomination.
Ghanaian International Reggae Musician Rocky Dawuni nominated for the “Best Reggae Album” category at the 58th Grammy in 2016.
